To draw public attention on the issues related to water, WECF, in partnership with the City of Annemasse, also organizes an exhibition about the activities of Danielle Mitterrand in the field of human right to water and sanitation from 23 February to 31 March. An open-for-public conference "Water, Society and Solidarity" will be held on the 20th of March 2012 at 14hrs in Annemasse, France.

The World Water Forum is the world's largest meeting around water and one of the highlights organized by the World Water Council (WWC) every three years since 1997. Established in 1996, the WWC is now composed from over 350 members, including NGOs, public agencies, private companies, universities and financial institutions such as the World Bank. By organizing the World Water Forums, the WWC aims to "bring water high on political agenda", to "formulate concrete proposals, bring their importance to the international scene", and to "build a political commitment ". Whereas the main goal of the 6th World Water Forum, to be held in March, is to propose concrete solutions to water management and develop cooperation and solidarity in France, Europe and worldwide.

WECF implements decentralised, safe sustainable and affordable sanitation systems for rural areas and promotes in particular access to safe water and sanitation for schools. WECF raises awareness and mobilises citizens for sustainable water and wastewater management and promotes community based and affordable water supply systems for rural areas without a centralised drinking water supply. WECF and partners represent civil society in the UNECE Protocol on Water and Health process and advocate for an integrated and sustainable approach to water resource and river basin management.
